Expert: Richard - 8/1/2007


Question
I was just wondering what kind of cars are flat towable. Our Saturn is flat towable and it is a 97. I was just wondering if any newer cars were available, even some suv's, its a gift for my parents who just got done putting me through college and i would like to get them one before the camping season is over.

Answer
While I am not an RV towing expert, I have one site saved with lots of information on it about RV towing issues.

Search the dingy towing guides and information for that subject and I think you will find the information you are after.
